Comment on Starfield Is Bethesda's Lowest-Rated Game On Steam
Shurimal@kbin.social 1 year agoMost mechanics are only surface level and don’t actually affect much of anything at all outside of combat, if even that.
Correct. That's exactly my point. Mechanics have never been the strong point in any of the Elder Scrolls games. But the worldbuilding is something else altogether, that's where all the depth is, and it doesn't stop going deeper and deeper.

I mean fair enough I guess, but when an rpg’s rpg mechanics are practically non existent it kind of hurts the experience. Even if the world building is stellar.
And I wouldn’t say mechanics have “never” been a strong point of these games. For all of Morrowind’s flaws, it had actual rpg elements. And that was along with some of the best world building the series has ever seen, before or since.
